To the Rev. Parsons and delegates from the several churches of Northampton, Hatfield, Southampton, Williamsburgh, Whately & Westhampton in council assembled at Amherst on Monday the 30th day of Septr A.D. 1782 Gentlemen In as much as it has been agreeable to your several churches to grant our request to them expressed in our ----? in appointing you to advise and assist us under our present [disa---?] greeable circumstances; we beg leave to lay before you for your consideration and advise thereon a more full and particular [account?] of the several matters of grievance subsisting in our minds with regard to the settlement of Mr. David Parsons as Pastor of the Church and Congregation in this town. And in the first place we consider ourselves as being treated in an unchristian like, and unfair manner by a majority of the Church, in that, they have proceeded in a hasty & unbecoming way to procure Mr. Parsons to preach here, in the first place Contrary to the authority of the town expressed by their vote of May 18th, 1781 which was that the -----? be a commentary to provide the town with a preacher, soon after which vote was passed in town meeting, a member of the church (uneasy as we suppose that the -----? by advice of the neighboring ministers were about to procure another gentleman in preference to Mr. Parsons to supply the pulpit in this town) procured a church meeting to be called to prevent the committee appointed by [ye?] aforesaid vote of the town from procuring any other person to supply the pulpit except Mr. Parsons. Accordingly a church meeting was immediately called, and the church without giving opportunity to said committee to pursue their -instructions; by their votes and influence procured a town meeting, which town meeting being called on the 25th day of June 1781, the following votes were passed, to wit, that as soon as convenient the town will be in a way for the ------? of the gospel ordinances among them, 2d that the town are willing to concur with the [chh?] in all pro----? measures for the settlement of the gospel ministry and ordinances. And after having [spoken?] a committee of the town to join with the committee of the chh to procure a [settlement?] of the gospel ordinances in this town. The following -----? was ----?, to wit, that the committee be directed to employ Mr. David Parsons to supply the pulpit for the --page 2-- by all which votes and proceedings of the chh and town we are of [opinion?] that it was the predeterminate resolution of the majority of the chh to have Mr. Parsons the sole candidate for settlement in the ministry in this town, altho' afterwards, after a general declaration that Mr. Parsons would not consider himself as a candidate for the ministry (which we suppose to be a feigned assertion by his friends; It was voted by the town December 17th, 1781 that the com mittee be directed as soon as may be to procure a candidate for the ministry to preach in this town in preference of which direction of the town the committee (by advice of a council of ministers assembled for the installment of Mr. Strong of Williamsburgh) applied to, and procured Mr. Henry Ely to supply the pulpit for a short term, which worthy gentleman had not long laboured in our service, before it was reported that Mr. Parsons would offer himself as a candidate for settlement in the ministry Whereupon a meeting was called and a majority of the town voted to invite Mr. David Parsons to preach here on probation for settlement.. who has supplied the pulpit ever since..by which proceedings of the chh and town we consider ourselves as injured in that when they knew that more than one third part of the town were opposed to Mr. Parsons they refused hearing any other candidate, which reasonable request if granted might have prevented the uneasiness and troubles now now prevailing in this town, the aforesaid request was often made & ----? for reasons hereafter to be be inserted, but always denied with an unbecoming ----? alleging that they were the majority, and it must be that the minority must be bound by their proceedings With regard to Mr. Parsons As there has been for many years past divers disputes and controversies between parties in this town relative to political principles in some of which his family have taken part, and been interested, we doubt not but the gentleman is prejudiced against many of the inhabitants of this town, and as these parties still -----? in town, we consider him as taking part with, and being unreasonably influenced by particular [Parsons?] of the one party, and prejudiced against [Parsons?] of the other party; Whereas we suppose a minister ought to be free from all kinds of prejudice towards the people or any part of them. As to his political principles although we are not absolutely acquainted with them, yet by his [reservedness?] & manner of expression in his public performances, as well as by --page 3-- some expressions in private conversation we are fully of opinion that he is not a friend to the independence of America, and of consequence not friendly to those who are opposed to the dominion of Great Britain over the United States. As to his principles with regard to church government and discipline we are at a loss to determine what they are and it appears to us by his own conversation that he hath not determined for himself what they may be. These matters we think, ought to be clearly understood, pointed out and agreed upon previous to the settlement of a minister, that we may know when we offend, and if an offence be committed, the we may know how and in what manner the offender shall be tried, convicted, and punished. As to ability of body we consider him by reason of infirmity to be incabable of [safe?] application to study, and thereby rendered unfit to perform the duties appertaining to the sacred office. Furthermore we consider him more general in his observations in public discourse than is profitable to enlighten the mind in the doctrines of faith, repentance and regeneration. Finally we consider him as unduly influ- enced by interest otherwise he would have left us and gone to some other parish where he might have settled in peace and harmony as it is given out by himself and friends that he hath had many such offers, and not have continued in this town contrary to the minds of more than a third part of it. The foregoing and such like considerations lying with weight on our mind hath so far alienated our affections and esteem from Mr. Parsons as to render him an unprofitable and disagreeable preacher to us = We therefore pray you to take the premises into your wise consideration and grant us your advice assistance and direction respecting the same = wishing you that wisdom that is profitable to direct, we are in behalf of a large number of the church and inhabitants of the town of Amherst, your friends in the fellowship of of the gospel John Billing Ebenr Mattoon Jr. Sept 30th, 1782 a true copy attest John Billing Hezekiah Belding --page 4-- to the settlement of Rev.

Description An account of the resource Written communication listing the grievances of members of the First Congregational Church of Amherst to the settlement of the Rev.

Stockbridge March 5 1787 Dear Sir, When you was here, I had the most sanguine prospects of making you a payment before this time, but we have had nothing but a scene of war and distress since the beginning of Feby. which has prevented my collecting any money worth your receiving, you may depend on my exercions in your favor as soon as there is the least propect of success -- On Tuesday morning the 27 ulto. about daybreak I had my house surrounded by twelve armed men, with a demand of enterance and surrender to Shays with the most horrid imprecations and diabolical visages that is possible to possess the human appearance before we could have time to determine whether it would be best to grant them enterance, they drove their bayonets thru the window of my lodging room and by repeated thrusts broke the sash and 6 or 8 lights of glass, in the room I, my wife and small children lodged, then with the same degree of vailance burst an outside door and an entery door which led into the same room, pointed the bayonet to my wives breast, with a demand of arms and arminition at the same time they had found enterance into almost every room of my house, after getting what arms and arminition they could find, and what plunder they pleased, which consited of cloathing, silver buckles some cash hats etc etc they ordered us to prepare to march immediately to head quarters, which was then at Mr. Bingham, where I found almost all my neighbours in the same unhappy situation. The commanding officer, Capt. Hamblin, informed me I must go with him and gave me permission to return home and take an horse or sleigh and what other comforts I pleased, which I considered as a very great indulgence, they plundered 6 horses and mounted them as videts [?] and marched out of town sun almost two hours high in the morning with 32 prisioners, we went to Barrington where they were joined by a number more, our Friends at Barrington got information timely to make their escape to Sheffield, where with an uncommon ardor and spirit they collected a force sufficient to attack them, which they did on the road from Barrington to Sheffield, tho; they decoyed them out of the common road, there strength was nearly equal the prisioners were pressed on at the point of the bayonet ot the scene of action a cruelty unknown in the most barbarous Nation, but kind providence so ordered it that but one of the poor prisioners fell, whether by the fire of our people or the rebels is uncertain, the attack was vailant and resolute on both sides, Hamblin received a mortal wound, which disconcerted his men, and they fled with precipitation into every direction, leaving one dead and two mortally wounded, by the seasonable reinforcement under Genl. Patterson in their rear, about fifty of there number were made prisioners, we lost two killed and one wounded, but I hope not mortal, Thus ended this rash incursion of the rebels, which they plumed themselves much on - I have spun out this to a much greater length then I intended, am Your Friend & Servt.

Lovell (1825-1903) was a professional photographer. He came to Amherst in 1856 and established the Amherst Picture Gallery, the first photographic studio in Western Massachusetts. In addition to studio work, Lovell was interested in scientific photography, accompanying an Amherst College astronomical team to California in 1882, as well as photographing Connecticut Valley geological features. His photos provide the best visual documentation from the 1860s to the 1890s of the successive transitions Amherst made from an agricultural town, to an industrial one, and finally, to a town known chiefly for its educational institutions. Moreover, Lovell’s images provide the best visual available documentation of Emily Dickinson’s community. Early images of the Dickinson houses, the streets, shops, and businesses the family knew intimately – all are found within this very important collection. John L. Lovell Collection (ca. 1860s – ca. 1890s) can be seen in its entirety at the Jones Library. It includes negatives; 59 stereopticon views of Amherst; 40 cartes de visite; and 1200 prints. The collection includes the first surviving photos of Amherst. Subjects include Amherst and the Connecticut Valley, especially architecture, businesses, construction, etc. Biographical reviews in local newspapers of the day; advertisements for his business and other materials accompany the photographs. The cartes de visite are significant because of extensive collateral material in the manuscript collection. Still Image A static visual representation.
